On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning came to Dadu and lived in the courtyard in Jintaifang purchased the year before last.

The next day, Li Luo went to the Reserve House with a heavy gift to meet Prince Zhenjin.

He didn't know if the real gold was in the Reserve House. If the real gold is in the East Palace in the palace city, he will be in the air.

Fortunately, Prince Zhenjin is very diligent and spends most of his time in the Reserve House. With his current status, it was much easier to meet the crown prince. He just applied for his name and was soon invited in.

"Weichen Li Luohara does not spend money, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Luo entered the Imperial Court and bowed down after seeing the real gold.

Prince Zhenjin was very happy to see Li Luo, and pulled him up by the arm without any shackles.

"No courtesy, no courtesy! Xiao Jiu Badu, you really impressed Lonely. Well, Lone really didn't look at the wrong person! Prince Zhenjin is not only warm and polite, but also speaks Chinese, and also calls Li Luo's "beautiful name", which shows that he admires Li Luo very much.

Li Luo said respectfully: "Weichen can make a small contribution for the crown prince and Dayuan, and it is not the crown prince who is promoted. If it weren't for the prince's wisdom and generosity, Weichen'an would have been able to establish the power of size. Wechen's visit this time is to thank His Highness. ”

That's not kind. Li Luoneng led the army in the name of the Goryeo Army, relying on Li Qian and Jin Fangqing, as well as Li Valve's family status, which actually had nothing to do with real gold.

But Prince Zhenjin smiled happily at Li Luo's sycophancy, patted Li Luo on the shoulder and said, "You are a loyal minister of Dayuan, and you are also a lonely person." Having talent, of course Lone will not turn a blind eye. ”

His sentence "You are a lonely person" can be regarded as acknowledging Li Luo's identity as a princeling and officially pulling Li Luo into the princeling's camp.

Li Luo sneered in his heart, and secretly said Wait until I have dug up enough population resources in the south, and then take off my Dayuan's tiger skin, and then see if I am still your person.

Seeing Zhenjin admit that he was a princeling, Li Luo's title immediately changed, "My lord has been working diligently in the Reserve Administration Yuan all the year round, and I hope to cherish the jade body a lot." ”

The prince's henchman next to him, Hanchen Liumengyan, also smiled: "What the Jianghua County Duke said is extremely true. My lord, this Imperial Court is complicated, and it is really too hard to work so diligently, so it is better to rest more in the East Palace. ”

The Yuan Dynasty's Imperial Court was not an ornament, it belonged to the second imperial court, and it was indeed very busy. Many unimportant political affairs were thrown by Kublai Khan to the crown prince's court. However, if there are so many officials who are familiar with government affairs, real gold seems to be tired.

This is also Kublai Khan's means against the crown prince. not only trained the prince, but also made the prince surrounded by a large number of unimportant political affairs, and had no energy to compete for power with the emperor.

Kublai Khan's hand is much more clever than Kangxi. Kangxi said it shrewdly, but he couldn't even handle the matter of the father-son struggle for power, which led to the abolition of the prince.

Zhenjin said: "Although these political affairs are not important, but Father Khan always has to ask questions twice in three days, can he be lonely and neglected?" There is no need to say this in the future. ”

Liu Mengyan said: "Yes, my lord." ”

Zhenjin looked at Li Luo and said warmly: "Xiao Jiu Badu recommended Zhang Zhenren to cure the queen's illness the year before last, and this time he made great achievements in building the Eastern Expedition, and Gu is very grateful." What official position Xiao Jiuba wants, as far as he can say, he knows with Lone. ”

Li Luo knew that it was real gold who tested him, and said, "Chen An dares to ask for an official? The queen has her own natural appearance, and the lord and the princess have also rewarded the ministers, how can the ministers take credit? The great victory of this Eastern Crusade also relied on the blessing of the Holy Lord and the Lord, and the soldiers served to the death, and the ministers did not dare to take credit. ”

Zhenjin was very satisfied with Li Luo's answer, and simply said, "The imperial court originally wanted to grant you the book of the military department. It's just that Fujian Pingzhang Alu Buhua was robbed of the imperial tax by the thief army and killed several court officials. The remnant Song sailors even landed at one point. Alu Buhua was reprimanded by the court for being incompetent and dismissed Pingzhang's position. ”

"Especially the remnants of the Song Dynasty Naval Division, taking advantage of the lack of ships and soldiers in the Dayuan Naval Division, repeatedly went ashore to harass Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong. This Fujian and Zhejiang ground is bound to be a master who is proficient in naval warfare. It just so happened that you invited you back to the court to offer prisoners, and Zhang Zhenren and Gu recommended you. ”

"You have won many naval battles in Japan Province, and your military qualifications are enough, so you should be able to do this Fujian Pingzhang. It's just that although the Great Khan did not object, he wanted to appoint you as Daru Huachi on Zhedong Road. ”

Li Luo secretly slandered Kublai Khan for being suspicious, if he was a Mongolian official, where would Kublai Khan hesitate?

Dalu Huachi on Zhedong Road is also a member of the three products, but after all, it is not a provincial level. The provincial Pingzhang is a feudal official from a product, equivalent to the governor of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and oversees the military and political power of a province, which is not comparable to Daru Huachi on East Zhejiang Road.

"Thank you for your recommendation! Wechen is afraid that he can be so valued by adults! It will be repaid in case of emergency! Li Luo said with surprise and gratitude, as if he only knew the news.

Zhenjin said: "Don't thank me first. Think, it's time for the Great Khan to summon you. If you deal with it well, maybe the Great Khan will be happy and will really reward you with your official position. Well, you first go to the ministry to record your address and wait for the summons. ”

Li Luo was a little speechless. Listening to the real golden tone, Kublai Khan was probably still reluctant to Fujian Pingzhang, and only gave Dalu Huachi on Zhedong Road. Cui Xiuning tossed and planned several times, but he still couldn't get the best result.

Fortunately, even if it is Daru Huachi on Zhedong Road, it is also very good, much stronger than the Shangshu of the Rausch Army. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the military department was a proper important minister in the court, but in my Dayuan, the military department is a chicken rib, and there is no military power at all, and there are three books.

Li Luo said goodbye to Zhenjin, went straight to the Ministry of Officials, and registered at the address of Dadu. Otherwise, once Uncle Kublai Khan summons him, he doesn't know where the others are.

Li Luo did not go to see Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng recommended himself, and Cui Xiuning sent someone to contact him. He owes himself a favor that has not been repaid, and he does not need to thank him for this more.

Back in the courtyard of Jintaifang, Cui Xiuning told him when he came back that Kublai Khan had decided to summon him, and it should be in the next few days.

Cui Xiuning told Li Luo another important thing, the jailer guarding Wen Tianxiang has already developed into an outsider. Wen Tianxiang's situation in prison can now be grasped at any time.

Cui Xiuning stroked his stomach and said: "Wen Tianxiang reads and writes every day in prison, his spirit is not bad, and he has not been abused. Every once in a while, someone from the Yuan court came to persuade him to surrender, but he sternly refused. ”

"Wen Tianxiang also said, when will you kill me? I hope that when I kill me, I can let the world know in front of everyone's eyes that there are still people who dare to kill and become benevolent, and righteousness still exists. ”

Li Luo smiled: "What a stubborn and tough person." It's good, if we don't do it, we're too lazy to save him. What do you think, how to get him out? ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Robbing the heavens and robbing the law field is nonsense, don't even think about it." Even if you succeed, you can't escape the capital. ”

She said, pulling out a picture, "Look at this." ”

Li Luo looked at it, it turned out to be a picture, which was drawn on the floor plan of the prison of the Criminal Department, as well as the surrounding buildings, one of which was very close to the prison, and Cui Xiuning specially drew a circle.

Cui Xiuning's onion-like jade pointed to the picture, "This is drawn by Li Yong and them, and the location of this painting circle is the Tuhara family residence in Tiezhafang." Tukhara was a man of Semu and a great merchant. The house was empty and no one lives in it today. It was only one mile away from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. ”

Li Luo understood, "You mean, buy this empty house in Tukhara, and then dig a tunnel to lead to the prison?" ”

Cui Xiuning nodded: "This is the safest way." Dig under the big cell first, and then determine the location of Wen Tianxiang's cell, this underground line can do this step. And in the middle of the night, he took Wen Tianxiang out unconsciously. ”

Li Luo said: "But most of the city gates are closed at night, how can you get out of the city late at night?" ”

Cui Xiuning smiled: "Where do you see the south side of this house is close?" Close to the old city of Dadu! The walls of the old city were in disrepair, and many of them collapsed, making it impossible to stop people. ”

Li Luo understood, "That is to dig two tunnels at the same time." One leads to the prison and the other to the Old City. After the people were rescued, they wanted to transfer to the old city, went out of the city overnight, and went directly to Haijin along the post station road to get on the boat and go to sea. Waiting for the officials of the Criminal Department to find out, it was no longer possible to catch up. ”

"That's it." Cui Xiuning frowned and thumped her waist, "I have calculated the project, the tunnels add up to more than a thousand meters, and the soil and stones are about a thousand square meters, just enough to fill the pond in the house." Seven or eight people work, and an average of ten square meters of soil can be dug a day, and it takes at least 100 days. ”

It's stupid, but there's no other way.

Li Luo thought of a question, "A hundred days of digging tunnels, for such a long time, is it possible to alarm the people on the ground?" ”

Cui Xiuning shook his head, "The sound insulation effect of the soil is very good, and it is difficult for people on the ground to hear when working at a depth of two meters underground." My concern is not this, but the wells, cellars, and even manure tanks dug into other people's homes. This makes it easy to be detected. ”

When Li Luo heard the manure tank, he shuddered all over, and said dryly: "What about your evasion method?" ”

Cui Xiuning continued to beat his "bucket waist", "first survey the route on the ground, try to avoid wells and manure tanks, and try to walk in open areas." ”

Li Luo saw Cui Xiuning pounding his waist exaggeratedly, and just said, "Okay, don't beat it, I'll give you a massage." ”

Cui Xiuning's pear vortex was suddenly revealed, and he quickly lay down on his side, "You have a little eye." Come and serve, press well and be rewarded. ”

Li Luo took the opportunity to get his hands up and down while massaging, and said with a smile: "What are you rewarding?" ”

Cui Xiuning snorted: "Originally, there was a reward, but your hand was molesting women, so not only did you not have a reward, but you also had to be punished." ”

"Penalty what?"

"Punish you for washing my feet for three days."

"I see. Ever since you were pregnant, you have gone to heaven. ”

"Hehe, can you get pregnant? If you can carry it for me, I will serve you every day. ”

Li Luo suddenly saw a little bead of sweat on Cui Xiuning's forehead, and couldn't help but touch it a little worriedly, it was not hot, but a little cold.

"Why do you break out in a cold sweat? What's uncomfortable? ”

"It's fine. It's just that my stomach hurts a little, don't make a fuss. Cui Xiuning frowned slightly, and soon fell asleep.

The woman was a little tired. Li Luo covered her with a quilt and instructed his soldiers to invite the best gynecology in the city to diagnose Cui Xiuning.

After Lang Zhong came, he was diagnosed and said: "Your lady is in good health, strong in qi and blood, and there is no major problem. It's just that he seems to be overthinking, and his liver is on fire, so that his body is cold. Just calm your nerves and rest for a few days. ”

Waiting for Lang Zhong to prescribe medicine and leave, Li Luo took Cui Xiuning's hand and said warmly: "Whether it is an official position or Wen Tianxiang, it is not a big deal. You're a protected animal now, don't worry about it. What does it mean for me to be alone if something happens to you. ”

Cui Xiuning's nose was sore, leaving two lines of tears, mumbled, leaned on the pillow and nodded. In Li Luo's impression, she seemed to be so fragile and well-behaved for the first time.

…………

After waiting for several days, it was not until the twelfth day of the first lunar month that Li Luo finally waited for Kublai Khan's summons.

The summoned lieutenant told Li Luo that the Holy Lord had summoned him to the Guanghan Palace of the Great Inner Taiye Pond. In order to "please" Uncle Kublai Khan, Li Luo deliberately wore the "black fox skin good clothes" rewarded by Kublai Khan.

It's not the first time Li Luo has entered the palace, but it's the first time he has come to the Guanghan Palace. When he heard the name of Guanghan Palace, he felt very strange.

If this is the emperor of the Han people, he will definitely not use Guanghan Palace as the name of the palace, neither Chang'e nor Wu Gang.

After entering the Ouchi, passing through the Longfu Palace (East Palace) where the prince lives and the Xingsheng Palace where the queen mother lives, he was interrogated and searched by the palace guards several times along the way, and then he arrived at an artificial lake: Taiye Pond.

The pond was large, now frozen, and covered with a thick layer of snow. At first glance, I thought it was a large piece of flat land. And Guanghan Palace is in the middle of the lake a mile away.

"Jianghua Jungong, please get on the dog cart." The summoned lieutenant smiled and pointed to the sleigh pulled by four large dogs. Li Luo looked at the four dogs that were not Chinese pastoral dogs, but seemed to be dog breeds from West Asia or Eastern Europe.

Li Luo really wanted to correct this eunuch, it was not a dog cart, it was a dog sled.

Li Luo got into the "dog car", and the lieutenant shouted, and the four big dogs stepped out of their hairy hooves and ran "snort". At first, the speed was not fast, but with inertia, the speed of the dog cart became faster and faster, almost like a galloping horse.

Li Luo did dog sledding for the first time, and he didn't expect to sprint so fast, and he was standing on the sled, and his center of gravity was unstable for a while, and when he was about to reach Guanghan Palace, he was suddenly thrown off, and his bones rolled in the snow.

"Hahaha!" Seeing Li Luo fall, an old man on the steps of Guanghan Palace suddenly laughed heartily.

Li Luo got up in embarrassment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the old man was more than sixty years old, not angry and arrogant, wearing a luxurious mink coat, with white braids adorned with gems, and a purple-haired xenomorph Hai Dongqing on his shoulder.

Uncle Kublai Khan!

Li Luo's heart was suddenly shocked, and the body that had just stood up suddenly threw himself into the snow again, and said loudly: "Weichen Li Luo, meet the saint, long live, long live, long live!" ”

What the? Hooray, hooray, hooray?

Kublai Khan was originally overjoyed when he saw Li Luo fall, but when he heard something "long live, long live, long live, long live", he felt even more fresh. He'd never heard it before, but he thought it was pleasing to the ear.

This Li Luo is interesting.

"Flatten down, come up and talk." After Kublai Khan finished speaking, he entered the "Eagle Room" on the edge of the Guanghan Palace, surrounded by the cowardly Xue guards.

"Thank you!"

Li Luo climbed up the steps of the Guanghan Palace, and also followed him to the Eagle Room.

The Eagle House is actually a huge yurt tent, completely in the style of the prairie. There are many large bird cages hanging from the tent, and all of them are precious birds of prey. There are eagles, falcons, eagles, owls, etc., but the most common ones are Haidongqing.

These birds of prey are all titled, what marshals, generals, ten thousand households, thousands of households, and so on. In addition, a special minister of eagle breeding, "Xi Baochi", was set up to raise eagles and manage the "eagle catchers" throughout the country. There were four or five thousand "eagle catchers" in the Yuan Dynasty.

The meat used to raise eagles in the palace every year is as high as 300,000 catties. The Yuan Dynasty also formed the "Eagle Division" composed of birds of prey, which, in addition to hunting, is said to have equipped the Mongol army to fight and transmit military information. The strength of the Eagle Division is as high as 10,000 birds of prey.

Kublai Khan sat on a tiger skin chair in the eagle room and said in Mongolian: "Little Jiu Badu, the battle you fought during the Eastern Crusade was very good! You're a good hunter! Didn't disappoint me. ”

Li Luo had to kneel down again and said, "Weichen is like these falcons, and the Great Khan, who is higher than the mountains and bigger than the sea, is like an omnipotent falconer. Without the wisdom of the Great Khan, Weichen is a sparrow who is easy to break his wings and is afraid of wind and rain, and has neither the means nor the courage to hunt. ”

Li Luo's Mongolian language is very authentic, and he speaks it well, Kublai Khan is very useful when he listens to it, and his impression of Li Luo is also better.

"What did you say before, long live, long live, long live, it's a novelty, well, who did you learn these words from? To whom? ”

Kublai Khan smiled like an uncle and said in a homely tone. But the imperial power that has been formed by Yuyu for many years is difficult to hide.

Li Luo said respectfully: "Playing the Great Khan, this long live was originally used to pray to the gods of heaven and earth recorded in the classics. Because the gods of heaven and earth are long-lasting, they are called long live. It was the first time for Wei Chen to say today, except for the Great Khan, who deserves to be long live. ”

Kublai Khan's aura is too strong, even if Li Luo's heart is big enough, he will beat a drum in his heart in the face of Kublai Khan, and cold sweat will break out on his body in the cold weather. lest you say the wrong word and cause a big disaster.

and Hai Dongqing on Kublai Khan's shoulder, staring at himself with a pair of round eagle eyes, Li Luo was really afraid that this flat-haired beast would fly up and peck at his eyes.

Kublai Khan laughed, "Hooray! Where are the people who live long! Even if Changshengtian lends me another 500 years, he will be the first person in history! ”

When Li Luo heard this, he wanted to laugh, but how dare he? can only say: "The dragon body of the Great Khan is like a five-year-old horse galloping on the grassland, like the sun that has just arrived overhead, and it can at least be a great sweat for decades." When the minister dies, please ask the Great Khan to give the minister a nice nickname. ”

Kublai Khan waved his hand, "Okay, I didn't see you today to hear good things from you. I know your loyalty. Li Luo, do you know what I see of you? ”

Li Luo pretended to be confused and said: "The Great Khan wants to ask Weichen about the war in Japan. ”

Kublai Khan did not deny it, "You say come and listen. ”

Li Luo had already prepared, and immediately added fuel to the Japanese war, which was nothing more than to show the stubbornness of the Japanese and the hardships of the fighting. Among them, Li Luo especially mentioned naval warfare, highlighting his ability in naval warfare.

After hearing this, Kublai Khan had no doubt that Li Luo was lying. Since ancient times, generals have fought wars, and only those who boast that they have won easy have never seen those who say that they have won difficult battles.

Even, Kublai Khan felt that Li Luo was honest and did not boast of deceiving the king.

"I see you know the Japanese very well. Tell me, how should the province be governed? Kublai Khan asked, he was a very accepting monarch and was accustomed to taking the advice of his courtiers.

Li Luo already had a countermeasure, and now he said something to Yuxi Timur and said it again, which was nothing more than abolishing the country and the county, changing the god to the Tao, and abolishing his writing. But for Kublai Khan, he added one more: horse racing.

“…… The province is not small, the population is also large, and the output is considerable. For the sake of long-term peace and stability, in addition to the abolition of the country and the county, the change of God to the Tao, and the abolition of the three strategies of writing, Weichen just said, also have to stake the land. Let the meritorious soldiers build manors, establish armor, and then increase the army to defend the town. In this way, within a few years, the province of Japan will be completely the overseas territory of the Great Yuan. ”

"Well, Xiao Jiuba is right. These four strategies for governing the sun must have been your hard work. I think it's completely feasible, so let's do it. ”

Kublai Khan listened to it frequently, and he couldn't imagine that Li Luo was not bad at fighting, and he was also very old and spicy in government affairs, but he was a talent. Each of the four strategies he said for governing Japan is aimed at the key point, and the bottom of the kettle is drawn. is not a loyal minister who really thinks about Dayuan, I'm afraid it is difficult to think so thoughtfully.

Moreover, he is quite good at naval warfare, and it is suitable to deal with the remnant Song sailors who have repeatedly harassed Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong.

He is not Han, and it is not impossible to serve as Fujian Pingzhang. But it's not a Mongolian nation after all.

Although Kublai Khan was satisfied with Li Luo's performance, he was still a little hesitant. Fujian Province is an important place for maritime trade, and it is also a place where the Han people make a counter-attack, and it is absolutely impossible for the Han people to do a flat chapter. Although the Koreans were much more reliable than the Han Chinese, they were still almost meaningless.

Kublai Khan asked for another conversation and issued an "eviction order".

"Go now, and in a few days there will be a will for you. Do it well! ”

"Wechen obeys, thank you!" Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew from the eagle room with a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until he left Miyagi that Li Luo completely relaxed.

No wonder it is said that a companion is like a tiger. Staying with Kublai Khan was really trembling, walking on thin ice, and the taste was very uncomfortable. Of course, he covered it up very well, his acting skills were passable, and he didn't show anything unusual.

In fact, this is also a manifestation of weakness of heart. If Li Luo was really a frank and loyal minister of the Great Yuan, it might be much better.

After Li Luo leaves, it will be late. Kublai Khan left the eagle room of the Guanghan Palace and returned to the Xiang Pavilion of the sleeping palace of the Daming Palace.

"Summoning Concubine Li to sleep!" Li Luo had a very good impression of Kublai Khan, which made Kublai Khan's good impression of the Goryeo people even more, and once again spread the word that the concubine Jin Guangruo was sleeping.

When Jin Guangruo finished sleeping, Kublai Khan suddenly said: "Concubine Li, I heard that your Jin family and Li family are world friends, are you familiar with Li Luo, how is this person?" ”

Kublai Khan was certainly not a man who was easily affected by pillow winds. If Jin Guangruo said that Li Luo was not good, not only would he not believe it, but he would think that Jin Guangruo would say bad things about Li Luo, and he was afraid that the Li family would overwhelm the Jin family.

Jin Guangruo had already received the hint from Cui Xiuning's informant, and immediately said: "Li Luo, the concubine is indeed familiar. This person has always wanted to serve as an official in Dayuan, and once said that the Son of Heaven is above, and it is the time for men to make meritorious contributions. He despised the official position of the Eastern Province very much, and respected the queen more than the king. The Eastern Province called it the Later Party. There are talents, too. ”

When Kublai Khan heard this, he immediately stopped hesitating in his heart.

On the third day, a holy decree flew out of Ouchi and was delivered to Li Luo.

“…… Li Luo, the prince of Jianghua County, was the political affairs of Pingzhang of Fujian Province, and the envoy of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong coastal systems...... Oh yes! ”

Li Luo knelt down a little excitedly to receive the holy decree, "Thank you for the grace of God!" Li Luo commanded! ”

From this moment on, Li Luo is the freshly baked Fujian Provincial Pingzhang Political Affairs, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Coastal Envoy!

The power of one province and the power of maritime inspection of three provinces are all in this holy decree.

A real feudal official!
